Enter the bolt load (N-m), the diameter (mm), and the nut factor (k-value) into the calculator to determine the Gasket Torque.

The following formula is used to calculate the Gasket Torque.

Tg =F*D*k / 1000
• Where Tg is the Gasket Torque (N-m)
• F is the bolt load (N-m)
• D is the diameter (mm)
• k is the nut factor (k-value)

To calculate the gasket torque, multiply the bolt load by the diameter, the multiply again by the nut factor, then finally divide by 1000.

## How to Calculate Gasket Torque?

The following example problems outline how to calculate the Gasket Torque.

Example Problem #1

1. First, determine the bolt load (N-m). In this example, the bolt load (N-m) is given as 50 .
2. Next, determine the diameter (mm). For this problem, the diameter (mm) is given as  20 .
3. Next, determine the nut factor (k-value). In this case, the nut factor (k-value) is found to be 40.
4. Finally, calculate the Gasket Torque using the formula above:

Tg =F*D*k / 1000

Inserting the values from above and solving yields:

Tg =50*20*40 / 1000 = 40 (N-m)

Example Problem #2

Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
